Some Memes are hilarious... to an extent. Others have lost their purpose, or rather, their meaning. And a few have become so repetitive that they provide a very convincing argument in favor of censorship to the point of burning digital mainframes and harassing anybody caught proliferating such memes.

Meme is a diatribe of wishful thinking, short in length and file size but compensating with poignancy and chilling frankness. The explicit definition of its seething undercurrents is sheer frustration. It wants these things stopped. I say, "Here, here!" because with the recent flood of "Nyan Cat" variations and submissions by the Lock Legion, now may be an appropriate time to reevaluate all these stupid memes, from Troll Face to Rick Astley, All Your Base to Over 9000, and see how they came to be and why they continue to haunt us.

When you watch this Flash, remember that the author's frustration over these stupid Internet gags, as wonderful as an unceasing pop-up ads or as magnificent as watching your mother die of throat cancer, might just be your own.
